Airfield Way, Christchurch
Typical strictly functional industrial estate, built on an airfield site sold off in 1962. Will future industrial archaeologists take delight in sites like this as we do with our Georgian/Victorian industrial heritage?

Somerford: postbox № BH23 508, Airfield Way
This modern postbox serves a modest industrial estate on the site of the former Somerford airfield – hence the name Airfield Way, along with nearby Airspeed Road, de Havilland Way and The Runway.
Items need to be in the box by 6 o'clock on weekday evenings, or noon on Saturdays, to be sure of catching the same day's post.

Airfield Way, Christchurch
Would a time-warp pilot be able to find the runway? The airfield, previously used by MoD, Airspeed/de Havilland and a flying club, closed in 1962, and the land was sold for redevelopment as housing and industrial estates.
